History Main / HitMeDammit

* A rare non-physical variant of this trope occurs in ''Main/{{Bakugan}}'s fourth season. Due to visions of him and Drago being connected to Mag Mel and Razenoid, Dan begins keeping it to himself and things start going south. From Drago losing control to the two of them leaving for New Vestoria without letting Marucho and Shun know beforehand causes a rift in the group. This only gets worse when they head to Gundalia to assist in driving Mag Mel's forces away from the planet where Dan disobeys orders from Marucho (who had elected himself as the new leader as the Brawlers) to not involve himself. After finding Rafe and Wolfurio after the Brawlers got seperated, Dan learns that the reason why his comrades acted the way they did towards him is because they were worried he was taking most of the burden for himself. Once Dan gets the message, [[JerkassRealization he realizes how inconsiderate and arrogant he has been]]. After the initial battle has ended, he pleads to his friends to yell at him for giving them so much trouble. The Brawlers just stare at him in surrpise, but Shun walks towards him, and seeing how he's been with him long enough, Dan expects [[WhatTheHellHero the most brutal lecture]] he believes he deserves. What [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this trope is that instead of busting his grill, Shun offers his hand to Dan, not only welcoming back him back into the Brawlers, but recognizing him as their leader once more.

* In the 1954 version of ''Film/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea'' Ned Land demands that Conseil punch him [[MyFistForgivesYou in payback for an incident where he hit him earlier.]] He even sticks out his chin so Conseil will have a good target to hit. Conseil promptly punches him in the gut.

* ''Film/TheMatrix'': While in the training room, Morpheus tells Neo "[[ThereIsNoTry Stop trying to hit me and hit me!]]"me!]]" to try and inspire/goad him into fighting without the rules of real-world physics.

* Face McShooty in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2''-->"Not the KNEE, not the ARM, not the SPINE: FACE! IT HAS TO HAPPEN! Maybe you're weighing the moral pros and cons but let me assure you that OH MY GOD SHOOT ME IN THE FACE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!"

* In ''Evangelion'' fanfic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11901689/3/Hand-Cannot-Erase Hand Cannot Erase]]", Shinji feels guilty for nearly destroying the world twice and failing Asuka, so he asks her to punch him. She refuses to, though.

** In "Damien", {{Satan}} fights {{Jesus}} Christ in a boxing match. Since Satan is almost 200 pounds heavier, two heads taller, and in a lot better shape than Jesus, everyone in the town has bet on Satan to win. The Prince of Darkness, despite winning for most of the match, kept taunting Jesus ''"Come on, hit me, you wuss!"''. And hit him he did. KO'd with just one punch, much to everyone's shock. Of course, it all was just Satan's EvilPlan to [[spoiler:fool everyone in town and returning to Hell even richer]].

Sometimes crosses over with MyFistForgivesYou or with SelfMutilationDemonstration ('cause you might ask someone else); frequently shows up in MakeItLookLikeAStruggle. StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred is when someone wants to be hit so that the hitter will break their moral code and fall from grace. Another variant of this trope is when someone asks to be hit because [[FetishFuel it turns them on]], although that usually will have [[BondageIsBad negative consequences]].

Reason: Fetish Fuel is not a trope and shouldn't be linked to as one. In-universe examples are the Fetish trope instead.

* ''Literature/JoePickett'': In ''Stone Cold'', Latta instructs Joe to beat him up in order to make the story of Joe jumping him and escaping seem plausible. Although reluctant, Joe winds up smashing him the face with the butt of a shotgun hard enough to break his jaw.
